Re: A Real Ghost Story

[Guest guest]

Oh this was too funny! I know I've read this before but I must have

forgotten cause I was reading it so seriously and thinking " wow how

neat is this " and then the ending took me by surprise and I really

LAUGHED OUT LOUD. I can just see this happening. Oh my too funny.

Thanks for the laughter - made me feel so much lighter!!!

Love you,
